Ellenboro, Oct. 23.—That Ellenbo ro farmers are preparing for a more profitable agriculture has been re cently demonstrated by the ordering of a carload of lime which arrived in Ellenboro last Saturday. The lime was ordered and distributed to the J farmers at a very low cost by the ag ricultural department of the school .working through the teacher of ag- I riculture. Lime is very important for many of our legume crops such as clovers, cowpeas, soybeans and peanuts. Then, the yields of corn and small grains are greatly increased by the use of lime. Lime has been demonstrated to [double the yield of corn at some of iour experimental stations. A fertile '•soil is the first essential for a pros i perous agriculture and it is believed I that Ellenboro farmers are taking | steps in the right direction by apply j ing lime to their soils. I The carload which recently came was distributed to ten farmers in the, j j j community and an equal number got j lime from a car which came this past | ' Spring. THE FOREST CITY COURIER, TH URSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1928 I ELLENBORO STUDENTS WILL TREAT FARMERS' WHEAT I j Ellenboro, Oct. 23.—The Ellenboro | agricultural" students, directed by | their teacher, will treat local farmers' j wheat against smut at the school next week as a part of their course in ag riculture. The new copper carbonate treatment will be used for which no charge will be made other than the cost of the material which should not exceed three cents per bushel. Copper carbonate has been used for the past few years to treat seed wheat for smut and has been found j to be just as effective in controlling smut as bluestone. It is a dry treat ment and has many advantages over the bluestone method. Wheat may be treated a month before the time of sowing since the seeds are not damp ened during the treatment. A barrel suitable for making the treatment has been prepared in the school shop by the students of agri culture, and the agricultural depart ment of the school is ready to serve the farmers of the community while the boys learn. Fifty pounds of the' copper carbonate has been ordered i by the department of the school. Farmers who may wish to get their seed are urged to see the agricultral' teacher and make a date to get the work done next week. 1 OPEN FURROW SOWING BEST WITH OATS Raleigh, Oct. 22.—Oats planted early by the open-furrow method will not be severely winter-killed and will produce good yields of valuable hay and grain. "We have reports that a number of farmers want to plant oats this fall to supply forage and grain next spring. Much of the corn, fodder, hay and other forage were severely damaged by the wet weather of early fall and it is necessary that much small grain and legumes be planted to replace this feed," says C. R. Hud- j son, farm demonstration worker of State College. "Planting oats early, say in October, and using the open furrow method of planting will great ly reduce winter-killing. Oats planted | in October have an advantage over: those planted in November or De- J cember and generally make larger ; yields. The crop may be planted in ; cotton middles before the seed cotton ' is picked." But planted in furrows 12 to 15 1 inches apart with the ordinary shov- ' el plow running four to six inches deep, oats will give best results, states Mr. Hudson. The seed should be covered about one inch deep in this furrow and plenty of seed used. The furrow will gradually be filled by the freezes and the oats will notr; be pushed from the ground as when j sown broadcast. Mr. Hudson suggests planting from ! 12 to 15 pounds per acre of hairy [ vetch along with the oats for pur-1' poses of soil improvement. This, he) said, will not decrease the oat yield. Anson County farmers have devel- ' oped a system of planting oats and ■ barley, one and one-half bushels ' each, per acre, to assure a harvest. If the oats are killed, the barley will stand and so a hay crop will be se cured. By the addition of vetch to this mixture a sure and profitable crop is obtained. But the main thing now, states Mr. Hudson, is to get the oats planted before November first, if possible. . Radio concerts and programs are a part of each evening meeting held by farmers of Macon County. The county agent has a new receiving set with the aerial rigged up over his official truck.
